We will also sell resources: so far we have an auditory memory pack, an s -pack, a t-pack, a k-pack, an l-pack and a d-pack. These have all been tried and tested by clients. Meeting Andy at Devmac next week so will have more news then.

We are running the accredited under 5s Elklan training in January and have plans to run business development days across the UK from Spring see https://bookwhen.com/smalltalk or for the range of courses http://smalltalktraining.blogspot.co.uk/

Thank you, I certainly will
ReplyDeleteVery informative post indeed! I like your advice and it really helped me as my child is having Aspergers and he often finds difficulties in normal conversations. Speech therapy is quite essential for an aspie to improve his/her social skills. Cluas experts say that language and speech therapy is helpful in child’s development. Social development is quite essential to communicate with others.
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy!
